Convertible Bonds

 

On December 31, 2021, the Company authorized the issuance of convertible bonds of up to $40,000 with an annual interest rate of 6.00% through June 15, 2026. During the year ending December 31, 2022, Company issued $11,500 in aggregate principal amount of 6.00% convertible bonds (the “Convertible Bonds”). The Convertible Bonds bear cash interest at a rate of 6.00% payable annually on each 12-month anniversary of the date of issuance and on the final redemption date of June 15, 2026, unless earlier redeemed or converted in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Bonds. The Convertible Bonds are unsecured obligations of the Company and are not transferable without the consent of the Company.

 

The Convertible Bonds will be redeemable, in whole or in part at the Company’s option at any time, and from time to time at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Convertible Bonds to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest without premium or penalty.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Bonds, upon consummation of the Business Combination, the Convertible Bonds were subject to mandatory conversion into ordinary shares of New Forafric at a conversion price of $9.45 per share. The ordinary shares were calculated by dividing the principal amount being converted, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, but the conversion price of $9.45. The conversion price is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications, and the like, and is also subject to price-based adjustment, on a “full ratchet” basis, in the event of any issuances of common stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for, common stock at a price below the then-applicable conversion price (subject to certain exceptions).

 

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, all Convertible Bonds were converted into ordinary shares of the Company.
